Hip-hop is no longer merely an international sensation. It's gone inter-species now, as a gorilla has become the latest mammal to master the art of breakdancing. He can't spin on his head yet, but he can still bust a move better than most primates.

Zola, nine years old, is one of eight Western lowland gorillas currently living at the Calgary Zoo as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Gorilla Species Survival Plan. Western lowland gorillas are listed as "critically endangered" by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, the Calgary Herald reports.

According to the Herald, Zola originally came to the Calgary Zoo from the Bronx Zoo -- maybe that's where he discovered hip-hop and breakdancing! The zoo says Zola loves to play in water and keepers regularly give him the opportunity to do so as part of the daily enrichment activities they plan.

As featured on BuzzFeed, the breakdancing gorilla has been viewed more than 350,000 times in just five days.

If he were going to join a dance crew, what should his b-boy name be?
